RARE footage of a blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) rising up from deep ocean to feed on a massive cloud of krill (Euphausia pacifica) at the ocean surface. The whale begins with its belly toward camera and its mouth agape, it rolls as it enters the cloud of krill until we see its back. Wide underwater shot shows the entire body of the blue whale disappearing into the even bigger cloud of food krill. See the whale gapes its mouth as it plunges face-first into the krill mass. Mysterious, pale blue, this is how the whale gets its name BLUE whale. Moody shot. The whale has followed krill food up out of deep ocean. The water is thick with krill and nutrients, making it hazy. In Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, summer. Pretty blue water. The elegant ocean surface is seen from below. Baleen whale feeding on krill. Marine mammal. Plankton. North America West Coast.
